Career profiles (or maybe something like “job posts”?)
Basically, writeups of specific jobs people have, and how to get those jobs. Seems like a useful subset of the “Career Choice” tag to cover posts like “How I got an entry-level role in Congress”, and all the posts that people will (hopefully) write in response to this.
My personal, quick reaction is that that’s a decently separate thing, that could have a separate tag if we feel that that’s worthwhile. Some posts might get both tags, and some posts might get just one.
But I haven’t thought carefully about this.
I also think I’d lean against having an entry for that purpose. It seems insufficiently distinct from the existing tags for career choice or community experiences, or from the intersection of the two.
Yeah, this seems worth having! And I appreciate you advocating for people to write these and for us to have a way to collect them, for similar reasons to those given in this earlier shortform of mine.
I think career profiles is a better term for this than job posts, partly because:
The latter sounds like it might be job ads or job postings
Some of these posts might not really be on “jobs” but rather things like being a semi-professional blogger, doing volunteering, having some formalised unpaid advisory role to some institution, etc.
OTOH, career profiles also sounds somewhat similar to 80k’s career reviews. This could be good or bad, depending on whether it’s important to distinguish what you have in mind from the career review format. (I don’t have a stance on that, as I haven’t read your post yet.)
Actually, having read your post, I now think it does sound more about jobs (or really “roles”, but that sounds less clear) than about careers. So I now might suggest using the term job profiles.

What about posts that discuss personal career choice processes (like this)?

Thanks, have created this. (The “Donation writeup” tag is singular, so I felt like this one should also be, but LMK if you think it should be plural.)
Either looks good to me. I agree that this is worth having.
